Typisch kommt das Verb nach dem Subjekt. Aber ich kümmere mich nicht sehr darüber. Es hat Sinn das
mein deutsch nach englisch klingelt.

I'm a little sorry to say that I dropped my German class on the last day to get your money back. I figured I
wouldn't be able to use my Japanese flex lessons I already bought and go to German and have a job and
squeeze a good exercise routine. I've bought a LOT of Japanese lessons. I totally am into Japanese and
anything else is just a holiday so to speak.
Watching a other English tv series. It's really weird for me I typically force myself to do something in my targe
language even if it means subtitles. But it's so nice to relax and a great change of pace. Currently watching
this tv series called the Misfits. It's British. It's been a while since I've watched British media and its neat...
Kind of like a foreign film but I understand everything obviously. I'm really liking the accents. The character
Kelly has a bit if a funny accent compared even to the others. Of course I don't know Britain very well and
don't recognize which regions have which accent etc. But it reminds me a bit if the north east (new York and
Boston). Anyway is fun.
I'll have to ge some good SRS in tonight though to make sure today isn't a bit waste.

Writing in Japanese isn't too bad. Of course it would be safer to write an English version too for when I screw
up but I'm lazy. I did a post on Lang 8 and I dropped the subject or had a typo or something and it changed
the meaning quite a bit. That'll probably get better with practice though. Still need to go to sleep hehe but
writing in English is pretty fast.

Ok this is a little repitive but writing in Japanese is actually not giving me a headache and well I was too tired
to do SRS reps so I wrote an entry in Japanese in Lang 8. Weird! I don't think it was too long ago where I felt
like my soul was being drained from my body when I tried to do that lol. As I write this in English I can see
how much slower I am in Japanese but still I am impressed.

The Japanese to English Universal dictionary built into iOS is back in version 7 XD. I am really really happy! I was thinking I'd have to jailbreak my apple products to get it again but thankfully that won't be the case. If you didn't use the old one, well, you have an excellent Japanese to English dictionary available to you in all apps (I think all apps..). Just highlight the word and press define. Awesomeness.

I'm like 700 cards behind on my English > Japanese SRS deck. I think I'm gonna have to give up on this deck
as impossible to maintain which saddens me. Part of that is that I tend to add tons and tons of new cards
quickly. I might try cutting the size of the deck down a whole lot because I think testing myself produce
Japanese is good for me. My other deck is behind too.. The Japanese (with furigana) to English one. But that
one is really easy to catch up on.
I was playing with some new features in my SRS program and I think I'll try out the multiple choice option for
another deck to do to supplement the Japanese to English one. It lets you add a timer so you have to answer
the question quickly or it marks it wrong. I have it set to 2.2 seconds with 3 answers at the moment. It
alternates between testing English to Japanese and Japanese to English. I don't have this deck setup for
SRS. It uses some leitner algorithm instead so there's no due dates. You can really burn through a lot of
vocabulary with it. It's pretty configurable. I was doing 2 answers and had the timer set to 1.3 seconds. I think
it's better this way but I might go back.
I basically fell behind on the SRS this week becuase of letting my sleeping habits get messed up. I think I
blame that TV series the Misfits. And the new iOS. My iphone just keeps calling me to use it at 4 in the
morning.. Meh.

Ok I don't think that just passive testing is going to improve my Japanese as well so I'm keeping the English
to Japanese. But I'm 600 overdo (700 and change a little while ago) and well that's a lot and there's new
vocab already in the passive deck. So the new strategy is not to finish all the over do every day. It's to get
through 100 of them. Then it's お疲れ様 and pat myself on the back it's enough.
*edit*
The idea being that if I do 100 every day I'll get a very positive benefit. The SRS program I have will give me credit for the additional days if I review them after the due date but frankly, I get them wrong on the 1st try if I'm behind anyway so it's not such a big help. That and I am actually turning off this feature since there's other things I do to review which makes this feature kind of cheating. When I go bike riding or work out I listen to audio of the due cards whose streak is 1 or 0 and this review kind of makes the late review a little more credit than I should get.
